I dunno Cloggy.......I only know what my Housing Association rules are..and that is..the tenant named on the Agreement must reside in the house or relinquish the property formally in writing to the HA. I didn't think a tenant could decide who stayed in the property after they left?

No, of course they can't.

They might try to make a tenancy for a named person a condition for leaving, but I doubt even that would be binding on anyone.

Nor do I believe the licence for the property would have been accepted by the HA if they had been informed about it, as they might have wished to increase the rent for a new tenancy.

Housing associations have long waiting lists of people needing housing there are various rule on transfering tenancies the tenant cant just pass it on,If the tenant is absent from the property for a lengh of time they must inform the HA .It looks like the OP has broken the rules whether they are liable for any costs remain to be seen,as i have stated they need to get all the info thats available and if its possiblr SAR the HA this could go either way
As regards the electoral role i do it so my creditors who send threatograms to my address dont have the role as proof i live there my choice i could always be a lord?????

when a Ha does repairs on a property they dont ask for ID of the person there same with a visit from a HA person

Often, only the tenants signature is acceptable. As regards a visit from a HA representative, then for the purposes of Data Protection, they would need to confirm who they were talking to.
